To make your mobile responsive website with a hamburger/full-screen menu close automatically when a link is clicked, you can implement the following steps:

  1. Add an interaction: In Webflow, you can create interactions that define how elements on your website behave. Start by adding an interaction to the link that triggers the closing of the menu.

  2. Select the link element: In the Webflow Designer, locate the link element that you want to add the interaction to. Click on it to select it.

  3. Create a new interaction: In the right-hand panel, go to the Interactions tab. Click on the "+" button to create a new interaction.

  4. Choose "Mouse Click" as the trigger: In the interactions panel, select the trigger type for the interaction. Choose "Mouse Click" from the options.

  5. Add an action to close the menu: With the "Mouse Click" trigger selected, click on the "+" button to add a new action. From the action dropdown menu, choose "Hide" and select the element that represents the menu.

  6. Add a second action to scroll to the target: If your link is also a scroll trigger that takes the user to another section of the page, you can add a second action to scroll to the target section. To do this, click on the "+" button again and choose the appropriate scroll action.

  7. Configure the interaction settings: Customize the duration and easing settings for the interaction according to your preference. This will determine how the menu closes and how the page scrolls after the link is clicked.

  8. Preview and test: Preview your website in the Webflow Designer or publish it to a staging URL to see the changes. Click on the link with the added interaction to ensure that the menu closes when the link is clicked.

By following these steps, you can make the hamburger/full-screen menu on your mobile responsive website automatically close when a link is clicked. This provides a seamless and user-friendly experience for your visitors.
